As prohtiiiti.in was an issue in the
Democratic prlnitry. the indii ition-s
are that it will furnl;*li a .sharp lin
of cli-avage in the general elei-tion.
Morr.son r.-affirmed his loyalty to

problem was drawn in the .Morrison
ileynolds contest, estiecialiy aft--r
1 the former ha.| manifested his di-_
' sent from the national platform.
I Reynolds endorsed the, rein-.il
plank without re.-ierve.
Morrinon declared "I will be an.
I nihiliateci politically l>efore I would
I -sell my conscience to the liquor in-
I' tereats."
Reynolds said "I am for temper
ance. Senator Morrison is for pro
| hibiMon."
There were other issues. Mor
i
rison was criticized in some quarters
. because ho was not recorded as
voting on the soldier Ijonus bill in
' the Senate. Reynolds advocated
' cash payment for the veterans.
Morrison's approval of Frank R-
McNlnch, the 1928 chief

j during the campaign.
